- ChgAddr V1.0 for RemoteAccess
- by Marc A. Shannon, 129/45
- August 5, 1990
-
- Okay, you've just received this file and you have no idea what it is.
- Well, that's where this README file comes in. (Full details on how to
- use this program can be found in the CHGADDR.DOC file.)
-
- ChgAddr allows you, the Sysop of a RemoteAccess BBS on multiple networks,
- to selectively manipulate your Network Mail message addresses. While
- RACONFIG allows you to specify the appropriate alias address for an
- EchoMail message area, you don't get that kind of functionality with the
- NetMail message area (without creating several boards, one for each of
- your aliases).
-
- Using a fairly simple script language, you can tell ChgAddr what
- addresses you want to change around. For example, my system is on two
- networks (one of which is a private network and the coordinator of that
- system doesn't want to use a different zone for it), both of which are in
- zone 1. You can see where the problems might come. Sending mail on
- FidoNet from 1/6 isn't exactly desireable, especially when that *isn't*
- my address on FidoNet.
-
- Let's take a quick look at this example:
-
- Old-From 1:1/6
- Old-To All Except 1:1/0 1 2 3 4 5 6 8 10 11 12 102 103 201
- New-From 1:129/45
-
- If a user sends NetMail to node 1/3, and my default address is 1/6,
- nothing will be done. However, if a message is sent to 129/26, ChgAddr
- will reset the originating network address to be 129/45, thus eliminating
- net-confusion.
-
- Does this sound like something you can use? If so, check out the
- documentation for more details (and restrictions).
